EDIT: it's a new internal division

Found on reddit

From reddit:

Also their Twitter: https://twitter.com/MSStudiosBlog

Hopefully something to do with their Japan visit?

That's a weird logo. Make your choice but keep only one graphic style.

 

[Bulby]

Hope not. Looks really bad and pointless

Reminds me of this - https://youtu.be/9STeegpxSb0?t=33s

 

[derFeef]

Interesting.
Yeah that's a bad logo. Unless it's two logos combined, which is equally dumb.

 

[JaggedSac]

Think that would be a sub division. Where Staten works.

 

[Black Republican]

Help publish games they dont own ips for, similar to sunset overdrive?

 

[Toadthemushroom]

Microsoft has been pretty bad with naming lately. There's been:

Microsoft Fluent Design Language
Xbox Design Lab
Microsoft Studios Global Publishing

None of those names inspire me to the same extent as "Metro", "Moto Maker", or...well, to be fair, it's just a publisher label.

 

[nubbe]

Microsoft Studios Worldwide Studios

 

[Cpt_Cabal]

Yep,

Website's had a rebrand too by the look of it:

[EDIT - And I'm wrong!]

 

[Shiggy]

Looks like somebody quickly put two different logos together in MS Paint. But it's not really different now: this MS Global Publishing was previously responsible for working with external companies, and thus responsible for Quantum Break, Recore, or Ori. They simply didn't appear as a public brand

Microsoft Studios in general were also responsible for Halo, Kinect Sports, and other games created by first party studios. Those weren't from Microsoft Studios Global Publishing. It's still weird that those games don't seem to appear on a separate Microsoft Studios website now.

 

[gaming_noob]

They're really trying to be the Netflix of vidya games right? Expecting A lot of global content for Game Pass.

Design Lab is really neat tho.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Complete global publication

 

[Mexen]

Splatoon 3 confirmed

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Not sure what this means but that's ugly.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Great logo on top
searched for 20 minutes on a stock graphics website on bottom

 

[Brannon]

(((((GLOBALIST)))))

Ugh, even in jest that's tacky.

 

[Jarod McChicken]

I think the official website used to put the studios (343, The Coalition, Rare, Turn 10) in front, but now the website is essentially games driven instead.

 

[samar11]

Good god, who approved that ugly logo?

 

[Shiggy]

I think the official website used to put the studios (343, The Coalition, Rare, Turn 10) in front, but now the website is essentially games driven instead.

Under games, none of those studios' titles are listed anymore.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Guessing there's going to be some PR to go along with this later this morning.

 

[JlNX]

If I remember correctly there is also a new Microsoft studios website being built, who knows what changes or information we will get from that. Its probably to coincide with this rebrand, I would also point out that this is probably two different logos. Microsoft studios logo would pop up on the title screen if it was a internal first party game, were as if it was a first party publishing deal like Quantum Break it would pop up with the Ms studios logo first then the Global publishing logo. They are probably just trying to fit it into one image.

Edit: oh shit the new websites up didn't expect that, actually it seems that global publishing has taken over the website completely with Microsoft studios publishing completely missing. They must be trying to make them two separate publishing labels.

 

[Jarod McChicken]

Yup you're right, the games of the main studios (Halo, Gears, Forza, Sea of Thieves) are not on this website. I don't understand why they would create two separate brand, one for the main internal studios and one for the external projects like Ori and State of Decay.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

This is supposed to be the Shannon Loftis branch right?

 

[Bold One]

Wow...that looks...Retro

I don't understand why they don't create a new website/URL for those and keep the Microsoft Studios website to 1st party studios then. Now it's a bit confusing if all communication for those is only handled through the studios themselves.

y tho

 

[Jonnax]

Bad name, bad logo. Wow.

[SOR5]

Logo isnt good but I think people should be discussing what the purpose of the rebrand is more than anything

Is it a pledge towards international development? Publishing third party games?

 

[miller.skippins]

what a bad designed logo...

 

[Emhemed]

This.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Needs more different fonts. They could easily squeeze in another two there I reckon.

 

[Strootman]

Pls fire whoever did the logo.

Huh so they have added a exclusive games section, HDR, play anywhere and ID@XBOX sections to the store. They must have a few things happening today then.

What's wrong with Xbox Design Lab? Lol

 

[Doffen]

They keep using the word global, but I'm not sure they understand it.

Not available in Europe.

It's been there for a few days, yes. As is XBPA and I think ID@Xbox. HDR Gaming is new today I believe

Not available in Europe.

I feel your pain

Though I wouldn't buy one anyway. Lunar grips > S

 

[Apathy]

Guessing that they might have some Japanese games and rather than having a whole entity just for a few games they'd rather extend what they have to cover it.

That logo is atrocious.

 

[wapplew]

Feel like an Xbox relaunch coming, true Spencer's vision, E3 going to be big for MS.

 

[Nightengale]

Basically this is now the naming for Xbox XDev going forward.

 

[Rumblebones]

Think that would be a sub division. Where Staten works.

Has Staten actually done anything of note at Microsoft thus far? Last I heard he did some writing on ReCore.

He is working on crackdown 3 right now.

He's writing Crackdown 3 and he's done a Halo book.

What Dev isn't?

That's cool, and especially so on the Crackdown front. Do we know if he's planning on creating any new IPs? Seems like a waste not to give him a studio of his own to at least incubate some ideas.
